You’re Not Ready… Until You Fail: Lessons from Ladies of Liberty

🎤 LIFE AT LIBERTY PODCAST NEW EPISODE ALERT

But some of your biggest breakthroughs with your horse
come right after things completely fall apart.
This episode is that conversation.
From the 2025 Liberty Festival, featuring Amber Marshall, Elizabeth James Jessica Blair Fowlkes, Caitie Holtzman, and Allison Whisler.

No filters. No “perfect horse” moments. Just the real side of it.

Some of the moments from this episode:
→ “You will fail. But that’s what teaches you.”
→ “Sometimes the crowd doesn’t even know it went wrong… you just keep going.”
→ “The only thing holding you back is you.”

If you’ve ever:
• Walked out of the arena frustrated
• Questioned if you’re doing it right
• Felt like everyone else has it figured out except you
You’ll probably see yourself in this one.

🎧 This episode goes live tonight at 7 PM EST (ILHA website, Spotify, Apple) Listen here: https://www.libertyhorseassociation.com/podcasts/life-at-liberty

What’s one moment with your horse that went wrong… but ended up teaching you something?

Even if it felt like a mess at the time.
Drop it below 👇
(We’ll be reading every single one)

And if you know someone who’s in that phase right now…
share this with them.

This is the part no one posts. 🤍

Last year, a group of women sat down and got honest about the hardest parts of Liberty work.

The moment it stops making sense. When the horse doesn't respond. When you wonder if you're even cut out for this.

Every person you look up to has been right here.
They just didn't quit.

Full Ladies of Liberty panel episode drops Friday 7pm EST on the Life at Liberty Podcast. 🎙️

• Ryan Rose
• Dan James from Double Dan Horsemanship

Dan James from Double Dan Horsemanship and Ryan Rose, two of our clinicians for Liberty Festival 2026 will be at Road to the Horse next week! We look forward to seeing them in action.

A lot has changed since the first time we stepped into the arena at Road to the Horse.

Over ten years ago, as a competitor, starting a c**t that many of you now know as Swampy. Since then we’ve made the trip back every year, and it’s become one of the highlights of the season.

This year Dan James will be back in the arena again, hosting, demonstrating, and putting together a performance we’ve been working on that we’re pretty excited about. We're also excited to have Dan Steers here with us for this event!

We’ll have our booth set up all weekend with training equipment, materials, and a few new things we’re bringing out for the first time.

If you’ll be at Road to the Horse, come find us and say hello.
And if you’ve been before, what’s your favorite Road to the Horse memory?
